What Stenströms is known for
Swedish shirtmaker tracing to August Stenstrom's 1883 Helsingborg retail business, which moved into dedicated shirt production in 1899. One of Scandinavia's oldest family-owned fashion houses, holding a Royal Warrant as purveyor to the Swedish Royal Court.
Stenstroms began as a retail business started by August Stenstrom in Helsingborg in 1883, building a reputation for high-quality shirts among the city's well-dressed clientele. In 1899, the company moved from retail into dedicated shirt manufacturing, building a factory to meet growing demand - the date the company now marks as its founding year and celebrated as a 125th-anniversary milestone in recent company communications. Today Stenstroms is counted among the oldest family-owned fashion businesses in Scandinavia, and holds a Royal Warrant as purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden. The brand remains known for two-fold cotton shirting made with a level of construction rigor associated with Scandinavian tailoring traditions.
